A Toast To 2009! Happy New Year!
A
Look Back at some of the PSR highlites of 2009...Well here we are, the last
day of 2009. I can say for sure it's been a long crazy year. Along the way we
had some good old fashion fun - from traveling to DC, NYC to California. The year
kicked off with conitinued promotions for the fabulous debut from Oxford's INTERNATIONAL
JETSETTERS which got a big thumbs up from legendary LA DJ Rodney Bingenheimer
- "Inside Out" was on rotation for a solid month on his Sunday
night show "RODNEY ON THE ROQ". The IJs also played in support of Glen
Tilbrook formerly of Squeeze at the Halesworth GIG IN THE PARK and
at the legendary CAVERN CLUB in Liverpool (as part of the '09 International Pop
Overthrow) among several other shows the band scheduled. The band is currently
finishing up their next EP along with working on various other projects.
In
February we released the very fantasitc "Dimensions" LP from
Australia's THE LOVETONES. Their LP raced up the CMJ Music charts peaking
out in the Top 100 - with their LP gathering rave reviews from music folks worldwide.
The band followed in May with a US Tour that kicked off in NYC...the PSR crew
were able to hop along on the East Coat dates and had much fun hanging out with
Matt Tow, Matt Sigley, Rob Campanella, Nelson Bragg and the guys from The Young
Sinclairs. The band later did their West Coast tour which included dates in Seattle,
Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco. The band is currently recording their next
LP.
We quickly followed with the release of LINDA DRAPER's third
PSR release "Bridge And Tunnel" - which kicked off in April 2009 in
Norfolk, VA at the lengendary Attucks Theater for the LPs special pre-release
show. The album once again received rave reviews from music critics around the
globe - MAGNET, DELUSIONS OF ADEQUACY, BIG TAKEOVER among others. Linda also embarked
on her second West Coast tour. The first show of the tour - at Spaceland (Los
Angeles) was amazing - a packed house and an opening spot for COTTON JONES and
THE PARSON REDHEADS. She followed with another great LA performance with the delightful
indie pop of PAULA KELLEY w/ AARON TAP at The Room 5 Lounge. Linda closed out
her LA area shows with a cool performance (which featured bassist Rob Woodcock)
with OLD TOY TRAINS at the Silverlake Lounge. The tour also made stops in Portland,
Seattle, and San Francisco. Towards the end of the year Linda made a return performance
on WBAB (NYC) RADIO UNNAMEABLE hosted by BOB FASS. Linda Draper is gearing up
for the late January drop date of "Pushing Up The Day" Digital EP which
features the triple A-side release of the title track, "So Long", and
"Sleepwalkers".
MORE PSR '09 HIGHLITES:
San
Diego's A.M. VIBE released their 2nd LP "Capricorno" via PSR
in March to great reviews in THE BIG TAKEOVER, PENNYBLACK MUSIC, DAGGER, DELUSIONS
OF ADEQUACY among a slew of indie music pulications. We managed to travel down
to San Diego, CA to catch the band performing its high energy fuzzed out indie
rock at the Art Around Adams Festival in June.
THE VOYCES returned
in September with their second PSR release "Let Me Die In California"
which has already made several year end best of lists...Brian Wurschum made several
radio appearances in support of the LP. The album got a surplus of blog reveiws...more
is still to come in 2010...live dates are rumored...
FREEHEAT/THE JESUS
AND MARY CHAIN's BEN LURIE resurfaced with a trio of new tracks with possibilities
of even more to come...
PINKIE spent most of the year finishing
up recording on the latest LP "Dreams, They'd Be There Too"...which
is looking like an early 2010 drop date...
THE TAMBORINES wrapped
up the recording of their new LP...2010 looks to be a big year....
Of course
there are so many more great events that happened in 2009, the above are one's
I remember from the top. Here's looking forward to more in 2010 and beyond. Thanks
goes out to those who continue to support the cause...you all know who you are...cheers!
